Beer brewing residues can be used to produce bio-gasoline

DB Export, a brewery in New Zealand, claims to have successfully built a "Brewtroleum" bio-petrol by taking advantage of beer brewing residue (a product that separates beer after fermentation).

Biofuel can be generated from beer residue

The company said before, beer brewing after fermentation is often thrown away or made food for animals. However, they have found a way to recycle it to turn it into ethanol ethanol and will be mixed with conventional gasoline fuels .

In fact, the fuel mix they create is nothing to break through. This is the bio-fuel E10 which contains 10% ethanol and 90% of the original gasoline without additives. However, beer firm DB said that this is the first time in history, a commercial fuel product has ingredients derived from the brewing process .

E10 is a biofuel that is said to be environmentally friendly and can replace pure gasoline fuel. However, this statement is still quite controversial. An investigation in 2013 in the United States found that growing corn to produce ethanol could cause great damage to the environment and push up the price of food corn.

Therefore, DB's solution can promise to replace corn cultivation to produce ethanol and moreover, it can take advantage of the huge amount of sediment that breweries are wasting. Currently, the type of Brewtroleum gasoline produced by DB is being sold at more than 60 Gull gas stations scattered throughout New Zealand. 300,000 liters of gasoline have been produced from 30,000 liters of ethanol produced this way, and to do that, DB has produced 8.8 million bottles of beer. Finally, DB announced happily that " beer can save the Earth and humans just need to drink more beer as long as you remember, drinking beer is not driving."
